Vision: The Montana Sustainable Rangeland Livestock Task Force is a comprehensive, multi-disciplined program that seamlessly integrates research and Extension activities. The integration of research and extension activities complements the collaborative partnership character of the program and is critical to the long-term mission of the Task Force. Each objective and each project will include both research and extension activities. Extension education efforts will be targeted to various stakeholder groups using a variety of media.

The Montana Sustainable Rangeland Livestock Task Force may serve as the guiding structure for several current and future research and education partnerships that serve stakeholders in Montana’s resources (e.g., Montana Sheep Institute, Undaunted Stewardship®.

Objectives: To fulfill this mission, the Task Force will focus its efforts in three important and complementary areas. The Task Force objectives are to develop and communicate livestock management technologies and other tools to:

1. Control and manage invasive species.
2. Enhance and preserve wildlife habitat.
3. Preserve and enhance riparian areas.
